Chapter 19: Wu Shaobai Is Still Alive?
The five ghosts had Li Qingshan's permission to kill on this rainy night. Exhilarated, they disappeared into the Stele Forest in an instant.
The five ghosts had an innate affinity for a massacre. After all, they were created from a Demonic Path offensive technique, to begin with. They existed as killing machines.
They knew neither tiredness nor pain. They were created purely for the purpose of a massacre. Dying in a battle was their final destiny.
This technique was once renowned in the past, and it was known to be one of the best killing techniques of the Demonic Path.
To this day, the masters from the Demonic Path are still searching for the whereabouts of this technique relentlessly. Once they find it, they intend to use this technique to overthrow the righteous sects. However, Li Qingshan had been using this technique to handle his daily chores.
The savage five ghosts had been working as his butlers all this time.
They were in charge of sweeping the floor, cooking, watering the plants, and taking care of the fish.
Since Li Qingshan had been cultivating in seclusion, the five ghosts had also undergone a drastic change in their bloodthirsty personalities.
He had even assigned the five ghosts the task of cultivating the Five Emperors Demonic Technique. This allowed them to gain sentience and to evolve even further.
Thanks to Li Qingshan's transformation, the five ghosts were on a high-speed route to the unknown.
Nevertheless, their affinity for killing was never purged. It had just been hiding deep within their core.
Now, Li Qingshan's command had given them permission to kill. So the five ghosts transformed into spirits and traversed the Stele Forest, approaching the two middle-aged men without a trace.
With the teacup in his hand, Li Qingshan enjoyed the rainy scenery. Then, suddenly, he lowered his eyes and murmured, "It's an instant kill."
He could sense that the five ghosts had managed to kill the two Distant Shore Plane masters in an instant.
...
Rain poured down, and dark clouds covered the sky. The Stele Forest appeared dark and gloomy.
The Yuhua Sect elder walked ahead and was constantly on the lookout for Wu Shaobai's stele.
Senior Brother Zhou from the Heavenly Path Sect followed closely behind him. He was looking around and had a look of surprise in his eyes.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
He commented, "Your Yuhua Sect truly has glorious ancestors. Countless enemies now lie in this Stele Forest. But, of course, there are many disciples of your Yuhua Sect here as well."
The elder of the Yuhua Sect said earnestly, "No matter how glorious our ancestors were, we have now fallen from grace. We keep to the old regimes and are always reminiscing. Our history has become too heavy a baggage. We never stopped talking about our past, yet these are but empty words. We cannot compare to the Heavenly Path Sect. Ever since you rose to power thousands of years ago, you have dominated the scene even until today. Yours is the most advanced system." He did not like the Yuhua Sect. Even though he had grown up on the resources of the Yuhua Sect, he still did not like it.
In his eyes, the Yuhua Sect was like a frail elder rattling on and on. How could it compare to the Heavenly Path Sect?
When Senior Brother Zhou heard this, he nodded arrogantly and said, "That's right. The Heavenly Path Sect represents the future, while the Yuhua Sect represents the past. So it is apparent which side you should choose."
"Swoosh!"
A dark shadow flashed in the distance.
"Wait. Did you see that?" asked Senior Brother Zhou sternly as his expression changed. Then, he looked around nervously.
The Yuhua Sect elder raised his head suspiciously as he asked, "See what?"
"A dark shadow!" said Senior Brother Zhou in an icy tone.
"I did not see anything," replied the Yuhua Sect elder as he shook his head. "Relax. There is usually no one here at Repentance Cliff. This place is only guarded by a crippled genius. So what shadow can there be? Are you seeing things?" "Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
As he said that, a few more dark shadows pounced toward them. The Yuhua Sect elder and Senior Brother Zhou were startled and attacked immediately. "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Senior Brother Zhou unleashed the Nine Laws of the Heavenly Path, a technique from the Heavenly Path Sect. Then, he formed a round shield in front of him. As he looked up, he happened to see the face of a Rakshasa up against his shield. "Demonic Rakshasas, and five of them at that. This is... the Five Ghosts Life-Claiming Technique!" exclaimed Senior Brother Zhou. He immediately recalled an encyclopedia entry on Demonic Paths that he had read before. The Five Ghosts Life- Claiming Technique was recorded within it.
The five ghosts before him were not that different from what he had read.
"Someone on Repentance Cliff actually knows the Five Ghosts Life-Claiming Technique?" This question surfaced in Senior Brother Zhou's mind.
Next, with a loud sound, the round shield was shattered by a palm strike from one of the Rakshasas. In an instant, the palm struck Senior Brother Zhou's face. "Bang!"
His head exploded into pieces, and he perished on the spot.
Elsewhere, the Yuhua Sect elder did not fare any better.
A Rakshasa dashed out from the shadows like an assassin. Then, very swiftly, a claw pierced into his back and crushed his heart.
In an instant, it was all over.
Two Distant Shore Plane experts could not put up a shred of resistance against five Rakshasas.

...
Sensing that the two men were already dead, Li Qingshan sipped a mouthful of tea and said, "Since you killed the men, you're in charge of cleaning up the place. Leave no trace of blood behind."
Two gruesome-looking bodies lay lifelessly on the ground in the Stele Forest.
Five three-meter-high giants stared blankly at each other.
Were they in charge of cleaning up the place as well?
They looked around and saw that the steles nearby were all covered in blood and brain matter. The ground was stained red too. Immediately, three Rakshasas took a step backward.
Their intent was clear: the three of them did not contribute to killing the men. Since the other two ghosts were responsible for the murder, they should be the ones cleaning up the place.
The two Rakshasas who murdered the men opened their mouths, wanting to say something. However, the other three Rakshasas left before they could speak up. The three rushed back to the vicinity of the bamboo hut and immediately went into a state of contemplation. They were very busy comprehending the Five Emperors Demonic Technique.
In the Stele Forest, the two Rakshasas who killed the men cleaned up the place begrudgingly.
"Now, keep in mind the next time you attack-do it neatly. Don't let blood splatter everywhere. It's disgusting," Li Qingshan reminded them as he shook his head in disapproval.
The five ghosts kept his reminder in mind.
...
Across Repentance Cliff, a green-robed elder stood on top of a boulder.
He stared at Repentance Cliff with a frown as he muttered, "Junior Brother Zhou has entered the forest for quite a while. He is not out yet. Could it be that he has come across some trouble?"
This green-robed elder was also a member of the Heavenly Path Sect. He and his Junior Brother received an order from the higher-ups to come and bring back the stele of Wu Shaobai.
His Junior Brother had entered the forest along with the spy from the Yuhua Sect. He was in charge of standing guard and informing them if anything happened.
Initially, he thought that they could complete this task very quickly. However, some time had passed, and yet, his Junior Brother and the Yuhua Sect elder were still nowhere to be seen. The elder was worried. Eventually, he decided to take a look at the forest himself.
He exerted force with his foot, and his body flew up like a swallow. He flew toward Repentance Cliff.
This elder was at the peak of the Distant Shore Plane. He was the person in charge of this mission.
The mission was to retrieve Wu Shaobai's stele without getting into conflict with any members of the Yuhua Sect.
As for their targeted attack on the Yuhua Sect, they would wait until their sect was less occupied before they began. They would undoubtedly give the Yuhua Sect a lesson to remember.
Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! They went as far as even to consider eradicating the entire Yuhua Sect.
A cold glint of malice flashed in the elder's eyes. Any individual or force that offends the Heavenly Path Sect will have to pay a huge price.
...
Li Qingshan, who was still enjoying the rain, frowned again.
He complained, "After ridding two people, yet another person has infiltrated the cliff? It's never-ending. Do they think that Repentance Cliff is where they can come and go as they please?"
His facial expression turned cold. He was irritated. He witnessed first-hand how adamant the Heavenly Path Sect was in seeking revenge.
This elder was at the peak of the Distant Shore Plane. But, unfortunately, he also wanted to invade this place.
Li Qingshan took a glance at his half-filled cup. Then, he raised the cup and splashed the remaining tea up into the sky.
"Rumble!"
In an instant, the tea transformed into a surging Sword Qi. It charged toward the intruder amidst the falling rain.
The momentum of the Sword Qi was unstoppable.
Countless raindrops gathered and merged, forming a sword. The sword sliced forward, accompanied by the sound of thunder.
The Heavenly Path Sect elder, who was just about to set foot on Repentance Cliff, suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of danger. He raised his head and was bewildered by what he saw. Amid the rain, Sword Qi swept up and came crashing down with a loud rumble.
"This is...the Great River Sword Qi!"
The elder panicked. What was he seeing? Stallh the DøvlFire.Det website on Gøøgll to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
It was the Great River Sword Qi!
Could it be that Wu Shaobai was still alive?
The elder did not have time to think as Sword Qi rained down on him.
"Rumble!"
The Sword Qi penetrated his body, killing him on the spot. The Great River Sword Qi that Li Qingshan unleashed vaporized the elder instantly.
